    Wow. I read his 3 books on new england literature 30 years ago in grad school. I just recently rebought them. Great stuff. America has had some great historians. I am so happy to have read them.

    The curriculum included him when I was a lad in high school. Nowadays I doubt he is mentioned until university, and then only if you choose ad American literature course
    .

    I wonder what these two would make of the endless vulgarity of the American Spectacle going on today. Endless bells and whistles 24/7 and where one of the two major presidential candidates is headed either for the White House or immanent incarceration. An interview with Lewis Mumford, H L Mencken, or John Steinbeck from this period would be great as well, thanks.

      He'd say, "Why can't you spell even with that thing you call a spell checker in that thing you call a browser?"
